Teheran was scratched from Friday's start against Cleveland due to triceps tightness.

Teheran went through his pre-game throwing program Friday, but he was shut down as a precautionary measure due to a triceps issue. The severity of the injury isn't yet known, but left-hander Derek Holland will start in his place against Cleveland.

Kluber (0-1) allowed five runs (three earned) on five hits and two walks over 2.1 innings Friday, striking out three and taking a loss against the Rays.

The Rays got to Kluber pretty early, bringing home two runs in the second inning. Despite the Yankees taking a 4-2 lead in the third, he then allowed four of the first five Rays on base before getting the hook. He would be charged with two more runs on Joey Wendle's double off Nick Nelson. The 6-foot-4 righty owns a 5.68 ERA and 8:5 K:BB through 6.1 innings this season. Kluber will face Toronto on the road Wednesday.

Hill (1-0) allowed four runs on four hits over six innings Friday, striking out seven and earning a win over the Yankees.

While his line doesn't look terribly impressive, the only damage on Hill came during a four-run fourth for the Yankees that included a two-run Aaron Hicks homer. Sandwiched around that nightmare inning were five perfect frames with five punchouts. The 41-year-old lefty will carry a 7.20 ERA into Wednesday's home contest against Texas.

Cobb, who is scheduled to start Sunday against the Blue Jays, was dealing with a blister earlier in the week, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

At this point, Cobb is not in danger of missing Sunday's start, but it's worth noting since blisters can re-occur. Cobb was originally scheduled to start Saturday but was pushed back to give his blister an extra day to heal.

Keller (0-1) allowed four earned runs on six hits and three walks across 3.1 innings while striking out three to take the loss against the White Sox on Thursday.

Keller's struggles continued from Opening Day and he's allowed 10 runs in 4.2 innings over two starts. In addition, his command isn't there right now, as he's walked five batters during that stretch. The 25-year-old got shelled Thursday, surrendering home runs to Yermin Mercedes and Yoan Moncada in the first inning. Keller will try to get back on track in his next start against the Angels on Wednesday.

Whitlock struck out three over two perfect innings to earn his first career hold in Thursday's 7-3 win over the Orioles.

Whitlock entered the game in the sixth inning with Boston clinging to a one-run lead and set down all six batters he faced on just 20 pitches. After his debut earlier this week, when he struck out five over 3.1 innings, manager Alex Cora told Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com that he would try to expose the Rule 5 draft pick to higher leverage situations. That's exactly what the manager did Thursday. "He belongs," Cora said. "The tempo, the conviction. Most of the time, Rule 5 guys don't shake off your catcher, but he knows what he wants to do, and he does." Whitlock is still viewed as a starter in the long term, and Cora plans to use him in a variety of relief roles.

Lynn (1-0) allowed five hits and struck out 11 without walking a batter in a complete game shutout win over the Kansas City on Thursday.

Lynn was perfect through four innings and threw 111 pitches in his second start of the season. He had been inefficient throughout spring training and into his first regular-season start, so in that sense, this start came out of the blue. However, Lynn has been a workhorse throughout his career, so a start like this is not surprising. He'll next take the ball Wednesday at home against Cleveland.

Cobb will start Sunday against the Blue Jays, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Cobb will take the spot of Shohei Ohtani (blister), who was scratched from his start Sunday. He'll look to build on a solid Angels debut in which he allowed three earned runs and struck out seven across six innings.

Quintana will make his second start of the season Saturday against the Blue Jays, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Quintana was originally projected to start Monday against the Royals, but he'll have his turn through the rotation bumped up due to the absence of Shohei Ohtani (blister). He was roughed up in his Angels debut, allowing four earned runs across 3.1 innings against the Astros.

Irvin (0-2) allowed four runs on five hits and a walk while striking out three over 5.1 innings in a loss to the Astros on Thursday.

Irvin continued his regular-season struggles, as he's now given up eight runs (all earned) and 12 hits in 9. innings across two starts. The 27-year-old barely beat out Daulton Jefferies and A.J. Puk for a rotation spot with a great spring, and he's already in danger of losing that role.
